Ricky Gervais' main target: himself

Ricky Gervais' main target: himself

Paul Drinkwater / NBC

As audiences -- televised and live -- awaited some Ricky Gervais zingers, the comedian-host seemed to save some of his harshest criticisms for himself. Reading aloud a list of supposed rules for what he could and could not do as a host, Gervais spent the most time joking about the size of his manhood. It got laughs, but cheap ones. Then, when he introduced Johnny Depp, Gervais joked that Depp's career was in trouble. Evidence? Depp helped promote Gervais' sitcom "Life's Too Short."
